“Star Walk is a remarkably in-depth and detailed astronomy app. There's so much you can do with this app” - Common sense media
“Star Walk is the best stargazing application I have come across for the iPhone. Many of the features found within the application cannot be found in any others! This is one of the best developed and executed applications I have seen to hit the app store.” - iMore

Duran Duran's keyboard Nick Rhodes mentions Star Walk as his favourite app:
“It’s brilliant, and if you’re ever somewhere with a clear sky and no light pollution, it’s a revelation. It’s beautifully designed and makes clever use of the available technology. I’m fascinated by astronomy, but even if you’re not, give this a go.”

Neizostavna aplikacija za ljubitelje svemira i astronomije, te sve one koji bi to uskoro mogli postati :) Za mene je ovo najbolje potrošenih 3$ ikad, platio bih i 30$ da su stavili.

Good, but just short of perfect.

I really like this app, but there are two things that bother me. One is, the search function pops out the iphone virtual keyboard which is white, ruining your night sight adaptation. This happens even if night mode is on, and is a huge issue when using it on an observing session. I also noticed some very basic deep sky objects are omitted; for example, the double cluster, one of the most famous 'beginner targets' is nowhere to be found! A search for either of it's components, NGC884 and NGC869 also yields no result, and trying to find it by manually navigating the virtual environment shows empty sky where it's supposed to be. There's been a few centuries since the time of Charles Messier, so one would think a modern star map would contain something as basic as the double cluster. Apart fron these two snags, excellent app.

One of those apps...
